Units Markup Language (UnitsML)
UnitsML is a project underway at the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) to develop a schema for encoding scientific units of measure
in XML. Furthermore, a database (UnitsDB) containing extensive information
about scientific units is under development.
We have initiated an OASIS
Technical Committee to address any needed changes in the schema and
publish a final recommendation.
